Pre-Analysis & Start-Up
Pre-Analysis
We must first calculate the theoretical critical buckling load of the column.
Where:
F = maximum or critical force (vertical load on column),
...
For a circular cross section,
Therefore, for our problem, I = .003068
Therefore, our critical buckling load is = 1.51398E+7 N
